Franklin homebuyers take advantage of 10 percent tax credit
Credit extended until April 30, 2010, and now includes move-up/repeat homebuyers

The Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, has extended the first-time homebuyer tax credit of up to $8,000 and authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat homebuyers. The extension includes homes purchased between January 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010.

The first-time homebuyer tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the purchase price up to $8,000. Since a home in a Franklin community is already affordable, homebuyers are able to take full advantage of the 10 percent tax credit!

To qualify, the buyer must be a first-time homeowner, or a buyer who has not owned a residence during the three year period prior to the purchase. Single taxpayers may not exceed adjusted gross incomes of $125,000, and married couples may not exceed $225,000. If the credit exceeds the taxpayer’s tax liability, the taxpayer is able to receive a check for the difference. The tax credit must be repaid if the first-time homebuyer sells the home within three years.

The move-up/repeat homebuyer tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the purchase price up to $6,500. To qualify, the buyer must have owned and lived in their previous home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years. Single taxpayers may not exceed adjusted gross incomes of $125,000, and married couples may not exceed $225,000. The tax credit applies to homes priced at $800,000 or less. Like the first-time homebuyer credit, if the credit exceeds the taxpayer’s tax liability, the taxpayer is able to receive a check for the difference. The tax credit must be repaid if the homebuyer sells the home within three years.

If you would like to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity to save 10 percent, please contact us.

It’s a great time to buy a home!

December 2007 Holiday Party

On Saturday, December 15, 2007, Franklin Homes held a Santa Party at the

Sales Center. We had Mr. & Mrs. Claus come in to sing and read "The Night

Before Christmas" with the children. Santa also called each child by name to

come up and receive a present. We also had coloring, cookies and juice for

the children and their families.
